Reading and Navigating the UBC Wiki

Check out the navigation page for an explanation of the basic elements of the UBC Wiki page. The searching page provides help for finding information on the wiki.

How to Create a Page

Search to see whether someone has already written a similar page before you start one yourself. Click on Create a New Page under navigation on left sidebar and use the form for the proper namespace of your new page. If you search for a page that doesn't exist (using the search box and “Go” button on the left of the page) then you will be provided with a link to create the new page. Please note that you might have to sign in with your CWL before you can see the link. See the starting a new page article for other tips and methods.

How to Edit an Existing Page

Check out the editing, formatting, and linking pages for information and help on how to edit and format your UBC Wiki content. Please note that you might have to sign in with your CWL before you can edit the UBC Wiki.

Organizing the UBC Wiki

The UBC wiki is organized into different spaces to accommodate different needs:

To add a page to Course or Documentation spaces, prefix the page name with the space name and a colon (either "Course:" or "Documentation:"), for example wiki.ubc.ca/Course:ABCD123. See Help:Namespaces for more information on how the UBC Wiki is organized.
